[Q] Anyone know where to file complaint against At&T? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Before there was a website: http://www.corp.att.com/contact/forms/inquiries.html
where you could file complaints, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. Anyone know what the new site is? Or did At&T wuss out and not let customers complain anymore?

You can complain all you want just not to them

Bump. Again, there was a website where you could do this but it's probably just moved.

What's your complaint? If it's something to do with fixing a bill or something then just call customer support.. if it's something like you just want to complain you can call customer support.
Both options have a pretty decent chance of you being hung up on a couple times, though.

Why not just keep it to yourself?

Better to file with the government regulator of AT&T, they will pay more attention:
http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
Then also file with your state's Attorney General.

I filed a complaint due to throttling ( i hadnt even reached 2 gbs) in Las Vegas.
I filed a complaint with the FCC and the Better business Bureau. I git a reply from AT&T corporate but when I tried to call back (and left 2 msgs) i got no one.
The AT&T lady even had the nerve to say in the VM that if i switched to a 2gb plan from unlimited I wouldnt have to worry about throttling

Try the AT&T forum. There is an AT&T manager/forum moderator there that will listen or help you with your grievances.

LOL

Thoughts and experiences on Verizon!

Hi all, to start of I must say I absolutely love T-Mobile. However, they just do not have the network that can keep me happy. T-Mobile just can't contend with Verizon's 3g coverage or LTE's speed. I know t-mobile has the best customer service ever but that only goes so far. Verizon also has some bad ass phones coming out. With that being said I am seriously considering switching over to big red. I would like to know everyone's thoughts and concerns on their network and customer service.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Do whatever u want T-Mobile will no longer exist in less than a year.

That's a great way for forums to become a mess making it harder to find useful information. There's a reason forums like XDA have so many different sections. Posting something that has nothing to do with the MT4G in the MT4G section defies logic.

Have to agree with mark, this is the MyTouch 4G General section and it is a question about jumping MyTouch 4G to Big Red.
and we do spend alot of time trolling this forum so we learn to trust each other, and their respective opinions.
VZW is amazing, had them for two years before switching to TMO. Just be prepared to pay for it. As in bend over and say thank you sir may I have another.

The MT4G wasn't mentioned until you brought it up in bold. The OP is talking only about carriers, not phones. If it was talking about the MT4G versus another phone, I'd understand, but it wasn't. To my mind, threads about one carrier versus another don't belong in a device-specific subforum, which is what this is. That being said, I don't see discussion going anywhere.

Even if the DOJ or FCC don't allow it, T-Mobile as we know it is probably done. Deutsche Telekom has been trying to sell it and get out of the US market for several years.
They'd been in talks for quite a while to sell to Sprint, but that didn't work out. After that soured, they agreed on the deal with AT&T. Should this not go through, most of the experts seem to think they'll sell things off piecemeal to various carriers.
It's a sucky deal for those of us who like our T-Mobile service, but the writing is on the wall.
Many of us like T-Mobile for their low rates. Unfortunately, that's part of what's been killing them. They're not making much money, and despite with their low rates are continually losing customers. Even with free or nearly free smart phones and cheap data plans, they're hemmorhaging customers. Raising prices to be inline with other carriers would most likely result in a loss of profits and customer turnover increases even more.

We get our info from whatever basis we can. I don't take offense to this because it's partly true. Any of you other AT&T reps (like myself) know that within our company you have the "haves" and "have-nots"...personally, if you're on XDA you're a "HAVE." You are intelligent enough to read and translate what half the stuff on this site means. Think about your counterparts in your stores/locations. We all have that handful that knows bullmoose about these devices. The "Pantechs" of the company, lol. We know how to browse the web to find what we need as AT&T doesn't necessarily give us the FULL specs on phones-just what they want us to push to our customers. So, just know going in that you have a grab bag of reps with different knowledge bases and strengths on these subjects...be prepared...
Stores don't hire knowledgeable people.
Walk into any Best Buy, GameStop, etc. None of them know what they're talking about.

i have to say that it is better than the sprint reps i have dealt with. i was checking out the epic for a girlfriend that liked my phone and was on sprint and i didnt like the contacts, launcher, and mms apps compared to other sgs phones. the dumb biatch kept repeating that it was the best phone on the market, and im like i know i have an sgs, it's right here and att had it before you had this. and she kept trying to tell me how the epic was so great, i kept finding reasons tw3 apps were better than tw 2.5 apps and asked about call forwarding so it can use google voice as voice mail, told her it was free on att and i didnt want surcharges for call forwarding. she tried to sell me there transcription service which is also a pay service. i gave up and walked out. it wasnt that she was trying to show knowledge, it was that she had a nasty tone of voice and discredited everything i said with the comment "this is the best phone on the market" and showed me no respect. it was clear she was just regurgitating stuff fed to her because we couldn't have a discussion. my att reps like talking to me because they usually learn something.

Hi I would like to buy an iphone 4g.
okay sure, anything specific that draws you to an iphone?
yes. it has 4g and apps.
-_-
^^^^^^^^^^
LMFAO!
yeah i do see people go into the att store and ask for an iphone. not "hey im interested in a smartphone and would like to know what's out there" just "i want to get an iphone, how much is it" i just smile and think their loss.
atleast i can get insureance on my infuse and the price scales over time. the iphone is still $300 for a 32gig version. a captivate or inspire is down to $50-$100 and the infuse as a new release is $200 but is sure to go down with the release of the attain.

Att monthly discounts

Hey guys I currently have an evo but this chubby guy is starting to show its age I'm really interested in the sexy infuse. I was just wondering if any of you guys knew of any ways to get monthly discounts through att. Its a bit more expensive than sprint. But I know there's usually certain loopholes you veterans know about
Thanks guys

I am a sales rep for at&t... as far as i am aware, the only monthly discounts we do are business discounts. If you work for a company that has a business account with at&t for cell phones, as an employee of that company you can use their company monthly discount code on a personal line. It is called a FAN IRU Number.

Same for my employer. I thought someone said USPS was actually 30% on service (e.g. they have the best deal of anyone). I'm 25/50.
AT&T DOES verify that you work for who you say you do when you initially have a FAN applied to your account - so pulling out a random FAN isn't going to help you. However once a FAN is applied, you don't get checked from then on.

ATT/TMO withdraw FCC merger application

Good stuff
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/69089.html
Not so much CANCELLED as the deal has been placed on Hospice Care... ie, AT&T is putting the loss of the breakup fees on their books NOW as if the deal was dead, and withdrawing the current FCC application... However it looks like they plan to reapply with a different deal.
The longer they drag this out, the longer T-Mo execs (and employees) can play the "let it rot on the vine" game, until it's an asset not worth having. Which is what AT&T wants anyway.
I actually kinda wanted this now. T-Mobile is dead on it's own. Has no plans whatsoever for LTE and DT pretty much gave up on them. So in the end I was kinda hoping for this to go through.

Hi all i'm glad At&t is not merging with T-mobileand the hell with there bandwidth cap that spread like a virus to every isps provider. Feels like our technology went back 20 years, I might as well move back to Yemen and get a pager.
A lot of what I was reading, AT&T pulled out temporarily to stop the FCC from releasing the documents on why it feels this deal would not be good for the US consumers and thus preventing the judge that was to hear the case from seeing this, allowing them a last ditch effort to apply later with a different approach. basically they knew if the relevant information was released, they would be denied, so they stopped that to come up with different approach that may have a slightly better chance of passing, somewhat like pulling together for a Hail Mary.
Att= poor service, poor customer care.
Tmo= decent service, excellent customer care.

+1 !
The sad, unfortunate part of this whole affair is that whether the deal falls through or not, DT is adamant about wanting to get out of the US market. They don't want to continue funding their venture into this country. Even though they are making a profit here, for some reason they just simply want out.
They will sell, to AT&T or whomever the government allows them to. Although I would vastly prefer just about anyone to AT&T.
Att can go to .....well you know.

I'm actually fine with the fact that TMO has no plans for LTE. HSPA+ is fast enough on the mobile phone, and it doesn't come with the penalty of the huge battery drain from LTE. I'd rather have a slightly slower internet speed than a dead phone by 10AM.
Well Simple Mobile uses Tmobiles network as well as a few others.
Maybe Verizon will pick it up and start using all the bands.
Or why don't they could auction it
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Saw this, was definitely interesting. Personally, I didn't really care what happened. Thinking about it, I am actually pretty happy that it didn't go through. I have loved using T-Mobile from the start, far superior than any other choice at the moment here.
AT&T and T-Mobile only withdrew the application in order to prevent the FCC from slapping a big fat DENIED stamp on the acuisition prior to the DOJ hearing to judge whether or not the acquisition would create a merger. If the FCC had denied AT&T and T-Mobile's application the DOJ would almost certainly have won the case against the acquisition. Now, however, the plan for AT&T and T-Mobile is to go to the DOJ hearing and get cleared of anti-competitive and monopoly checks and then take their case back to the FCC with the DOJ behind them.
Hopefully some politicians will strike up against the acquisition due to this shady tactic of dodging around the FCC's disapproval, but with the current political climate and the DOJ's history with mergers and acquisitions over the past couple of years I have little hope that the customer's interests will be served and AT&T and DT will likely get their way.
I think my girlfriend put it the best way today: AT&T was afraid mommy FCC would say no to AT&T eating up T-Mobile so AT&T decided to run away from mommy and ask daddy instead. It's the old trick one parent into saying yes trick.

You people seriously thought, they would back-off so easily?
Deal will most likely to be approved eventually. Maybe not this year but next year or so

Wind Users Warning

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give my fellow Wind users a warning: Wind has changed their warranty policies.
Instead of doing a straight exchange they now require $150 deposit, and a $10+tax fee for using their loaner phone. I've had enough of their antics, and am in touch with the loyalty department after paying $161.30 just to send my phone in for repairs.
Basically what happened is my phone shutoff while I was using the flashlight, and wouldn't turn back on. I tried charging, tried a different battery, tried putting it into recovery, etc. Now that I look back the only thing I didn't try was apx mode. Funny thing was, when I was in the store waiting to get the loaner phone, a lady brought in the exact same phone with calling issues. Everyone who has this phone hates it.
Anyways, reason for my post wasn't to get help fixing it, it was to warn you guys of the new crappy policies in place.
If they can't hook me up with an upgrade for a newer phone, then I'm tempted to pay off my tab and leave wind for mobilicity, at least then I wouldn't have to deal with getting crappy phones like this in the future. Wind (and T-Mobile for that matter) should have recalled all these phones when they realized that it was a P.O.S for lack of a better word. It hasn't even been a year and the phone has broken twice on me.
My words of wisdom was to tell you guys to pawn your phones off or try and trade for an amaze 4g or something before yours breaks (since it's probably inevitable) and you're stuck paying these bogus warranty fees. I'll update the thread once the loyalty department gets back to me this weekend.
Ontop of this as of April 1st of 2012 they charge 10$ for the unlock codes. I just called to get it unlocked and the representative claimed i had to be with them for "6" months not the usual 3 and its 10$ to unlock the phone.
If there has been a change in policy, does that mean you can get out of your contracts?

Just a little comment on the issue with your phone. I think your motherboard is fried . This is my second LG phone, and my first phone (P500) had an issue and wouldn't turn on, I sent it for repair and they told me the motherboard was dead.
So I'm guessing that's what happened with yours. This will be my last LG phone, probably forever. Would rather have an iphone, and I HATE apple products, than an LG phone.

See if you can find some information regarding the wintab contracts. considering its a "contract" that you sign for the company somehow i dont think its legal for them to enforce that upon the anyone who signed on before the date of change. For the others there is no contract as is pay as you go.

Unfortunately they don't do contracts. But I do have a WindTab which means I owe a certain amount of money on the phone. Maybe I can get out of paying it by saying their policy breached my agreement. I'll have to review my agreement!

I 100% agree with you. Last LG phone I ever get. I was going to buy an LG TV this week as well, but I feel like a dynex would be more reliable at this point!
Thanks guys!
Funny thing is I have 2 720p tvs, one is a dynex and one is an LG lol. The dynex tv is older and was more expensive at the time, but they both work great. The LG tv input ports are arranged better though and are easier to get to.
Sorry to hear about your issues, but please note that this is off-topic! Complaints about your provider have nothing to do with development. (As an aside, I'd also disagree with your assertion that "everyone" is unhappy with the phone. We have two G2x phones on Wind and really enjoy both the device and the service.)

It might be against the rules to post twice in a row. Could you check and get back to us?
If wind does not have any "contracts" whats stopping people from canceling the service and not paying off the windtab.

? if exchanging a G2X is not relevant here then the thread can be deleted/locked. Its a "General" section and not a development section. yes its related to the provider being ass within the use of a "G2X" warning others of such issues.

That's why I posted in the general section Mr. Moderator. Thanks for the heads up there. It's also called an exaggeration, most people on here are unhappy with these phones, and while I was in the store, another lady brought one in and she's had hers repaired 3 times already. I don't know what your problem is.

That's true, when looking through my "agreement" it says they must give me 30 days prior notice to any changes that are affecting my terms of agreement. I'm going to tell them that I don't agree with the warranty policy changes and I'm either accepting a replacement (different phone) or I'm leaving and filing a small claims. I'm already in the process of litigations with another cell phone provider, don't really want to disclose too much but they can be a real pain in the ass.
could you pm me the agreement you signed i assume it would be the same "blank out any personal information" i cant seem to find mine atm. need to dgi through a pile of papers.

"G2x general discussion" is not the same as "Complaints about my cellular provider". The OP even made a point of stating that the post "wasn't to get help fixing it, it was to warn you guys of the new crappy policies in place" at his provider. It's not a big deal, but there are already plenty of other sites to gripe about service issues.

Dude I don't know what your issue is this is the general section like you noted which means for general discussion.... If this was in the Dev or themes and apps section then you would have a a point but you don't so move on and stop trolling this thread unless you have something of substance to add to the discussion

Hey, it was an opinion expressed in good faith to the OP, and these silly claims ("trolling"?!?) don't help anyone. Do with it what you will, I really don't care any more.

I am a WIND customer and didn't know about the change in repair policy so this thread is useful to me.
